Scope and content
This series contains a scrapbook of geometric drawings that belonged to Alicia Boole Stott (1860-1940) who originally termed the word “polytope” to describe a four dimensional convex solid. Stott was the third daughter of mathematician George Boole and a colleague of Coxeter. The two met in 1930 and worked on various problems together early in Coxeter’s career. Stott died in 1940.
